Default stupid question

I keep overheating like son of bitch.I have a Tyrus intercooler, and my radiator is stock.I drive a del sol w/ a D16Z6. I think that the FMIC is not letting my tiny radiator do it's thing properly with the turbo hooked up. If I unhook the wastegate actuator, I only overheat if I get on it alot.
My question is: Do yoose guys think that I need a larger radiator?

also, do you have the del sol w/ the double thick rad? if not, you may want to try that. Or. you can wire your rad fan to be on 100%
